Teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry. At Garden View Dental Care in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, our skilled cosmetic dentist Dr Makhani and his team have helped many patients to boost the appearance of their smiles by using whitening treatment.

What does teeth whitening involve?

Teeth whitening uses special dental bleaching products to gently remove everyday stains from the teeth. Our teeth are easily stained by foods and drink, by habits such as smoking and by certain medicines and medicated mouthwashes.

Whitening treatment is a proven, safe way to get rid of these stains and leave your teeth much brighter and whiter. It should only be carried out by a dentist or dental hygienist.

Can’t I get cheaper treatment on the internet?

If there’s one thing you should remember when exploring options for teeth whitening, it is that this treatment should only be undertaken by a qualified dental professional. While it is true that there are a plethora of “whitening” products available online, you have no way of knowing if these are quality products – or even if they are safe.

The products used at our Buckinghamshire practice have been extensively tested and have been proven to be safe to use. Products bought from the internet may not have been tested to such rigorous standards, and could actually damage your teeth and gums, leaving you in pain and in need of extensive restorative treatment.

What are my treatment options?

At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, we offer two options for teeth whitening treatment. You can have a single session of power whitening delivered by your dentist here at the practice, or can carry out treatment yourself at home.

Power whitening involves an hour-long session in the comfort of our Buckinghamshire practice, while home treatment will take about two weeks to complete.
